When an estimated 90 percent of our lives are spent indoors, and 40 to 50 hours are spent in the office weekly, human productivity and comfort are brought to the forefront. A simple window can have a huge impact on how we work.

Now more than ever, people are looking to live, work and play in the same vicinity. Developers and employers have incentives for investing in urban amenities that can profit not just them, but the community as a whole.

Needs for collaboration, team building and individual focus are just a few reasons employees are heavily relying on their office to provide them with access to the people and tools they need to get work done.

Here at PDR, we are creative problem solvers and we love what we do. Unfortunately, our work often requires an incredible amount of paper. Whether it’s sketches, storyboards, book designs, or construction documents, we are constantly surrounded by paper.

Last year, we published our Insights on the concept of wellbeing in the workplace and why the subject is trending. PDR shared our belief that companies are coming to the realization that people are their greatest asset.
